A semicolon should precede the coordinate conjunction.

Answer from: bangchan

A semicolon should precede the coordinate conjunction.

Answer from: oscar3231

The correct answer is option A) "The ideas in the independent clauses are not coordinate."

Explanation:

In this case, both ideas that the comma and coordinating conjunction "and" are joining are not coordinate. So, option A is the correct one.

Option B is incorrect since the sentence is using a comma and not a semicolon. Apart from that, when using a semicolon, no coordinating conjunction should be used.

Option c is also incorrect since the adjectives "talented" and "respected" are parallel words (parallelism is achieved when using the same grammar pattern).

And finally, option D is also incorrect since no conjunctive adverb is used in the sentence. Examples of conjunctive adjectives are: moreover, unless, instead, however, therefore, besides, among others.
